Job Description
Welcome to YBEC, with six campuses across south-central PA, we offer an innovative approach to education that seamlessly integrates experiential learning with adventure. We take pride in our commitment to maintaining a low student-to-staff ratio, ensuring a maximum of 1:4 students per elementary classroom and 1:6 students per secondary school classroom. This deliberate approach allows our educators, counselors, and adventure professionals to provide individualized attention, fostering a profound sense of belonging. By tailoring our teaching methods, our dedicated educators actively engage, encourage, and empower students. This approach fosters their academic, social, and personal growth both within and beyond the classroom walls. Our Core Subject Teachers create cross-curricular learning experiences that ignite students' curiosity and engagement. With a focus on small groups of four or six students, our educators leverage project-based learning to meet K-12 state standards and graduation requirements. Going beyond traditional classroom walls, our teachers lead experiential opportunities that immerse students in real-world contexts, seamlessly integrating the curriculum subjects they teach. While working alongside the Adventure Specialists, Core subject teachers actively participate in weekly adventure trips and one week long camping trip, fostering their own skill development alongside their students.
